			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I originally wanted to write something about being back in college over the weekend, but I just didn&#8217;t. I had more important things to do, like the Dunboyne motor festival, and having a very secluded life. But yea, first week back in college and this time actually registered rather than just being somehow lost in the system despite me doing everything right on my end.</p>
<p> <span id="more-1282"></span>
<p>Although tbh, there&#8217;s not really much to talk about. Monday was spent sitting around while the Registry fished me out of the lake somewhere somehow. Tuesday figuring out what I need to do in order to get enough credits to be able to officially complete second year. Wednesday abusing the LapLan. Thursday actually going to an actual lecture. Friday hanging at home since I had nothing. I feel just like a CA1 with the Fridays off, but then again like so much more since I&#8217;m a CASE2 and I technically have Tuesdays and Wednesdays free <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Although Wednesday is the big technically, since it&#8217;s my job to be in college setting up the consoles, seeing as I am Console Ents for the year. I&#8217;m just hoping that we eventually manage to sort out a room, after whatever Slowpokes moved the Mezz into the seminar room, thus forcing us to look elsewhere. Made even worse by the fact that at this point in time, all that&#8217;s there is a bunch load of spare tables, the center area installed, and a bunch-load more crap just stored there. If you weren&#8217;t going to complete it in time, why&#8217;d you even fucking start <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>The Dunboyne motor festival took place last weekend, which I went to for a little bit. I briefly presented myself at the barbeque Saturday night before heading back with Chinese food instead, seeing as I was there by myself in a crowd of about four hundred people enjoying themselves together (since when could you fit so many into Brady&#8217;s backyard?!?!), feeling a little awkward and out of place. I missed the bike run on Sunday as I left the house quite late (damn you F1 re-run!), but made it in time for the car run. Managed to record all the cars as they went around Mulvaney&#8217;s corner and I really should actually go make that into a video, but that&#8217;s for another time when I&#8217;m not so busy.   <br />Oh, and the bear got a snap with <a href="http://twitter.com/niall_quinn1" target="_blank">Niall</a>. I&#8217;ll definitely have to upload that soon <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This week has been really tiring and busy so far. From discovering that the main teacher of Languages and Computability really had said in the first lecture: &quot;I&#8217;m your teacher, but I&#8217;m a lazy ass, and as such I&#8217;m forcing these postgrad slaves to teach you instead while I go sit in my office and torrent the entire Internet while playing Spider Solitaire&quot;, or something along those lines, and that one of your teachers is a Chinese postgrad who can barely speak English (snore-fest tbh – needed an insane amount of Lucozade to keep me awake…), and then the madness that were Clubs and Socs days (that&#8217;s for another post!), I&#8217;m absolutely wrecked. A 10am lecture in the morning doesn&#8217;t help, especially as that means I need to be up at about half seven and out on the 8.15am 70A to even have a remote chance of making it.</p>
<p>Also, I want to take this opportunity to bitch about the lack of 70 from town between the 2120 and 2320 each night. I want to be home at a reasonable hour after traditional gaming (and maybe some other stuff) in the evenings, and although the 2120 gets me home around ten, I would prefer a 2220 service to get me home around eleven. While I may not necessarily get it on trad gaming nights, it would be brilliant for lab gaming, film nights or anime nights so I don&#8217;t have to up and leave in the middle of something epic… Sake, Dublin Bus, do you ever think of the people in Dunboyne rather than just your profits?</p>

<p>Although, after this I really am worried that the anime has been lying to me&#8230; Excuse me if this one is a little worse than the others (well, with the exception of the other balls one). But I needed something to involve the bear and the ball together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My <a href="http://cad-comic.com/" target="_blank">Ctrl+Alt+Del</a> limited edition maquettes arrived this morning, and thankfully I was awake to be able to accept them (I blame the binmen!). I&#8217;ve been expecting them for a while, given I ordered them back when they were first made available in February. That and they were delivered to Dunboyne while I was living in Santry, and when I found out about that they were already on the way back to Canada <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Unfortunately, the bear doesn&#8217;t seem to like the fact that there are more models around &#8220;vieing for my attention&#8221;. I think he&#8217;s just madly jealous. He wants me all to himself&#8230;<span id="more-1161"></span><br />
I can remember the day vividly, because it was a Wednesday evening in STOCS and I was glued to my computer waiting for 8pm to roll around and they would then go on sale on <a href="http://www.splitreason.com" target="_blank">Splitreason</a>. Apparently my frantic clicking paid off since out of the 500 of each that were made, I have Ethan number 6 and Zeke number 7! <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And before you ask &#8211; no I am not selling them on.</p>

<p>Also, sorry for the lack of bears this week, I&#8217;ve been&#8230; pre-occupied. However there are quite a few new comic ideas in my head for the next week or so!</p>

<p>And yes, that is my actual Xbox, and yes that is an actual red ring. About fucking time that Core piece of shit broke down so I can get it upgraded.</p>
<p>Also, getting the bear in poses like those is quite hard with Blue-Tac. You can just see it holding his right arm up in panel 3. Maybe glue dots or double-sided sticky tape&#8230;?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wrong Babe tries to imitate the Heavy from Team Fortress 2, but he seemed to slip up somewhere along the line&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not particularly pleased at how this one turned out. It was originally supposed to be &#8220;Some people think they can outsmart me&#8221; in the first panel; &#8220;Maybe, maybe.&#8221; in panel two, and then finishing with &#8220;Oh wait, they can outsmart me&#8230;&#8221;. But I thought it wouldn&#8217;t make much sense to those who hadn&#8217;t seen Meet the Heavy, so I changed things up a bit to make it easier to understand.</p>
<p>Not sure if it&#8217;s as funny as the original should have been <img src='http://www.thechrisd.com/wp-files/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Seriously, did you not see those side-by-side shots of Right Babe (the most used) and Cream Babe? Holy crap, that shows a lot. That&#8217;s what 9 years of near-constant has done to that bear. Most of those were my sister&#8217;s fault, being a baby and all, but the rest were him being thrown around, used for various purposes (a slipper was probably the worst), and now just generally used as ammunition in the Clubs and Socs offices.</p>
